Car Barn System Design Guidelines (Draft Developed with DDOT, DCOP, SHPO, NCPC, CFA input)

Design of buildings for DC Streetcar System should be sensitive to specific site context and in support of planning initiatives: Design of building should be of highest aesthetic quality and should promote a vision for progressive, sustainable transportation and civic presence.

Educational opportunities for the transit and building program should be considered in design of the site and building. This may include, but are not limited to: provision of exterior and interior public viewing areas, building transparency, efficient land use, reduction of parking.

Sustainable design features of building and site (energy, lighting, water management and landscape) should support a healthy work environment, be visible to the general public, and provide multiple benefits.

Safety and security considerations, including fencing and lighting, for both building operations and adjacent conditions should be integral to the design approach.

Public art should be integrated with site and building design.

Sensitive design of site infrastructure (such as OCS pole layout) is required.

CBTC Design Guidelines Spingarn Campus (Draft Developed with DDOT, DCOP, SHPO, NCPC, CFA input)

The landscape / building relationship is a significant element of the campus. The design of the building and site should consider this relationship and the design of the site, building and landscape to respect important views.

The architectural design of the building should be complementary with the historic context.

This does not necessarily require an historic architectural style - compatibility may be achieved with a contemporary, sensitive and appropriate use of materials, scale and proportion.

Innovation and Design Process

The design will implement a variety of sustainable design strategies that will be integral to the Car Barn Training Center. The LEED rating system will serve as a framework and benchmark.

In general, these sustainable design strategies can be grouped into key components – Site, Envelope, Conservation, and Management.

Site - Treatment of stormwater on site.- Native-like vegetation as site plantings.- Strategic placement of plantings.- High albedo hardscape.- Reduction of light pollution.

Envelope- Reduce unwanted solar gain.- Reduce unwanted infiltration. - Optimize building orientation and fenestration.- Optimize natural light.- High albedo roof.

Conservation- Building systems shall reduce water and energy

consumption via high efficiency HVAC, plumbing fixtures, and lighting.

- Maximize materials with recycled content.- Maximize regional materials.- Purchase renewable energy.

Management- Reduce construction waste and debris.- Divert construction waste from landfills.- Protect building materials from moisture and debris

through construction.- Utilize low VOC materials.- Building Commissioning for optimal use.- Utilize environmentally friendly cleaning products.- Reward alternative modes of transportation.- Implement recycling policy.- Utilize energy efficient appliances.
